Trains: Get the 10:00 Portsmouth Harbour train from Waterloo (Clapham Junction 10:09), arriving Witley 10:59.Return from Haslemere at xx:17 and xx:42. Get a return to Haslemere.
Clocks go back today. Gets dark earlier.
Lunch: Choose between the 600 year old Crown Inn in Chiddingfold (01428 682 255) or the nearby Swan (01428 684 688). There's also a tea-shop on The Green, Treacle’s, open 7 days a week.
Tea: The traditional stop is Darnley's in Haslemere High St. There is also Hemingway's across the road. Stays open later. Hard to say witch is best. There's pubs too. (Yay!)

At Clapham Junction but train cancelled..abandoning this walk!
Those who weren't put off by the dire forecast(I was) were probably thwarted by the cancelled train so I'm assuming n=0 (feel free to correct that figure) Weather w=rainy-start-clearing-later
